A word from the staff
B
old, rebellious, unusual, united, bubbling, working, engaged, surprising, bright, mo-
ving, ambitious, amazing … So many adjectives that characterize Gardanne. The city plays
with its antagonisms and differences to compose, invent and reinvent themselves constantly …
The visitor will discover the landscapes painted by Cezanne, borrow its many hiking trails,
discover its mining past and its industries, stride along its renowned market, to meet plenty of craftsmen working in this place but the visitor will be especially amazed by a unique
landscape.
… A city where chimneys and hills meet each other , where the red-tinted walls dominate
the large avenues, where many stairs in the old village lead you to the imposing bell tower
and take you through centuries of history
Gardanne is also and finally a sense of hospitality, friendliness, an example of solidarity, a
large associative strength, know-being and know-how.
For all these reasons, the Gardanne Tourist Office is pleased to welcome many visitors each
year and make them discover this unique place in the heart of Aix-en-Provence ...

Famous People
The history of Gardanne was marked by many characters
The Forbin family Palamède de Forbin, who administered Provence in
1482 gave the land of Gardanne to his brother Jacques. In 1656, his

Count.
The Bontemps family are originally from Gardanne. This family gave five generations of
head manservants of the Kings of France (Jean-Baptiste Alexandre Louis-Alexandre, LouisAlexandre II and Louis-Dominique). Alexandre Bontemps (1626-1701) was the head manservant of Louis XIV chamber. Subsequently, it will become the king’s counsel and adviser,
and was even the godfather of a king’s child.
The King Rene also known as the Duke of Anjou, Count of Provence
and Forcalquier and King of Jerusalem and Sicily, became in 1454 the
owner of the domain Gardanne and administers until his death in
1480. He enjoyed coming to hunt birds in Gardanne ponds or small
game. It exists at the edge of the Luynes, the « Hunting Lodge of King
René ».

and later his great-grand-son Louis Joseph Alphonse de Gueydan, who ruled the domain.

Industrial Heritage
I
n 1893, the exploitation of the well Ernest-Bivers began. One year later the alumina
plant had been build. Nowadays the plant is European leader and 2nd worldwide for
speciality alumina production. This material serves, among other things, manufacturing of
medicines and toothpastes.
Because of a lack of workforce, many foreigners come to settle gradually on Gardanne to
work at the mine.
The impact of the installation of these industries is very visible on the demographics of the
town from 2636 inhabitants in 1886 to 7979 inhabitants in 1946.
In 1952, the thermal power plant had
been finally built. This is the central
fluidized bed most powerful in the
world
with
250
MWe.
Operated for 110 years, the Well Ernest Bivers close in 2003. The coal had
to been extracted too deeply, that lead
extra costs. Today remains the power
plant and alumina factory. Each trying
